Soils and Compost:

Incorporate compost 6" into your soil to retain water, reduce compaction, feed earthworms, and provide valuable nutrients to your plants.

Water-Saving Tip:

Watering every day results in shallow roots.

Instead, water deeply every few days using the Cycle and Soak method (two or more short run times, each separated by about an hour).

Integrated Pest Management:

Remove irrigation water and fertilizer from areas where you don't want weeds to grow.
